Business partners (and friends since high school) Bryce Maddock and Jaspar Weir founded TaskUs in 2008 in Santa Monica, California. Formerly a virtual personal assistant company, it quickly transformed into an international outsourcing organization that employs thousands of employees around the globe.

Based on their experiences with the Philippines, Maddock and Weir opened their first office in Manila in 2009. While working on the virtual assistant business, each quickly realized that the service they were offering to busy professionals was much more in demand for rapidly growing business. With a team in place and a new vision for changing the way work gets done, TaskUs was born.
